Hi Christine,
Yes I have been smoking for 30 years, I know, very bad.
And I used to drink heavily on weekends about 5 years ago.
That at least has stopped. And cancer does run in my family.
I will be 46 next month.
I am waiting for a call back, from my primary Dr. to say he will refer me to our local ENT. I called the ENT office this morning explaining everything and they said they can usually get biopsy patients in within 6 weeks, but would likely be earlier. Like I said earlier, I now have a sore on my bottom lip where I usually put the cigarette to take my puffs. Now I am really freaking out. I am almost in tears , Im so scared. I am very frustrated as well. I dont know what else to do !! I just need to know as I already have anxiety issues.

Thanks for listening, I dont even talk to my hubby about it because he has no clue how serious this could be, I have no one to talk to except you lovely people on this forum.

All the best,
Kim
